Timely. Today is sparkling with “coincidences” of this message. I’m thinking my Heavenly Daddy wanted to whisper encouragement into my weariness. Grateful that He whispered it to yours and you let it run through your fingers into the keyboard. <3

Sure they may not understand the no’s and ‘now’s not a good time’ or ‘because I said so’…but I have to hope that eventually all of these teaching moments will sink in.
Your post could not have come at a better time. I’ve been spraying my dog with a water bottle & yelling at my cherubs all day!

Every day making the little adjustments to angle your mirror-of-a-life just perfectly in line with the Light. It reflects, and hits your kids, your husband, your friends, even if sometimes (like mine) it is skewed slightly off-center. Thank you for this bare, questioning, encouraging post, my friend.

Oh I need to read that sermon! Beautiful quote! Thanks, Penelope. And regardless of what season life finds us, the call is the same. Serve in love. Blessings!

Love that comment! Thank you. (And I need to just put a dish of cheerios in the bathroom. Thought we were past that point. :/ )

On the philosophical level: Francis Schaeffer’s sermon No Little People No Little Places has helped me tremendously.
“… in God’s sight there are no little people and no little places.” Francis Schaeffer
My children are 24 and 26 now, so I am not facing your challenges, I have others. But Schaeffer’s words are true to the core.
